Man hell nah! With the way these parking attendants act even if you park in a spot for a minute, there’s no way this should be happening. Especially if I paid 50 bucks to park! PaRking dudes are getting slapped all day after that one.
Ain’t no attendants in these lots. They city owned and just operated off camera

I see now.. You posted tweets of two white women commenting on the 13 year old. And one white woman said "we're locked and loaded".. Everyone is getting locked and loaded..

Just clarifying for those who can't tell by the Twitter picture. This former DC council woman is black. She represented Ward 7 which is a very black area of DC.

I hate to bring this up BUT a lot of these folks are of different ethnicities so they perceive "us" differently.


Maybe this child was breaking into cars but I'm not automatically believing that without proof.



And even if he was I still not giving the shooter the benefit of the doubt without scrutinizing if his life was in real danger.

You shouldn't hate to bring this up because it's more than worth mentioning and should always be at the forefront of Black people's minds. Far too many of us only contemplate our Blackness and the implications when it's already too late. We literally have a thread right now about the rapper TayK complaining that his white codefendant basically got a slap on the wrist for something he caught 50 years for.

:snoop:What is a 13 year old doing outside at 3am. His parents failed him smh, my parents used to tell me. To be in the house once the street lights come on. I’m sorry brehs but people. Are not going to let you steal what they worked hard for. Regardless of what age you are especially if the owner has a weapon.

Only way to stop or at least slow down this nonsense with these kids out here criming it up is holding the parents accountable. If they can't take care of em, send em to someone who will.

4am in a stolen car? Pathetic.

That actually doesn't work.

If your kid steals, and you get punished, your child who gets punished, but doesn't learn, isn't going to go " :ohhh: damn, they punished moms and dad, I gotta do better :mjcry:"

That hasn't worked at any point in history in any scenario on planet earth.

Only way a person can truly change is if they want to. There's no punishment someone can force on someone else that going to make you change.

Only plausible way your scenario would work would be to allow parents to do whatever they want or can to their juvenile children, including beating and or torturing them. You probably wouldn't support parents chaining their own kids in the bedroom with literal chains and keys from 9pm to 7am.

The kid made his own decisions. He didn't ask his parents permission or insight, advice or tips. He dug his own grave, he has to lay in it.

As someone that has been robbed before it's hard to have much sympathy here. If you are out breaking in cars? You could run up on the wrong person's stuff and they absolutely are not gonna have a sense of humor about being jacked.

If I would have seen the dudes that got me todat? I'm calling the cops. Me 20 years ago is busting in the air(country life no close houses) to get you to bounce. Wild, right? And yet why should I take you jacking me laying down knowing nothing will come from police intervention?

Dudes in here getting their pro black on? You have a point about folks viewing us differently. You also need to pick and choose your hills to die on. Not seeing it here personally. Everyone doesn't deserve your energy.

Explain where the parents failed though. You're assuming his parents have never ever uttered the words "Come home" "be in the house by..." just because a parent says something with words, doesn't mean theyre good or bad, or that they are successes or failures...

What would the next step be after your parents say "be in the house before the street lights come on" and your not in the house?

You're either a c00n who internalized the racist devaluation of the lives of black children, or you are a cac :scust:
They just young bruh. Reminds me of 2pac in a way. You’d hear stories of him seeing an injustice and just losing his shyt bc he had never seen it …and bc he was naive trying to impress the homies

That’s nggas like @Ineedmoney504. They the lil homies

When you live a little tho, you gain wisdom and discernment—-and you stop being performative :beli: —- you have sons, you have nephews, you teach or coach kids this age…Ie I have a nephew in DCPS. :aicmon: All that = you realize how close to home this can be so yea they need to be jailed, but it damn sure don’t make you emotionless wishing death on black teens

People are getting sick of being victimized. That age shyt is meaningless now, I have no idea what changed in the last 2-3 yrs that caused young teens to begin committing serious crimes at the rate it seem they do now but a 15 yr old will blow your head off trying steal you used Kia now days

it's wealth inequality!!!

it's kids from a certain household income bracket that are committing these crimes. wages are low and cost of living keeps increasing. parents/guardians have little to no discretionary income for their kids but that doesn't stop kids from wanting stuff.jobs that kids use to be able to get are no longer plentiful or no longer exist. these kids might get a taste for "easy" money doing something illegal and it's just a slippery slope right into the criminal underworld. they now KNOW how to "earn" money illegally.

yes having neglectful parents plays a role in this but the true driving force of these crimes by kids is wealth inequality. few kids of modest means will ever engage in these type of criminal acts to make money.

Why y'all hate to acknowledge that some black posters get victimized by their own people all the time?

Were you robbed? Like someone confronted you and took your shyt? Or did you just have things taken without your consent or knowing? Those are 2 completely different things.

Someone walk up to you and saying gimme your shyt, or you going to your locker and someone took your shyt from it. 2 different things.

My car was stolen (for real). I came out it was gone. I didn't get carjacked, someone smashed the window, probably got the ignition with wires or a screw driver....

This sounds like white supremacy talk breh. Seems like you're saying if you're black and poor, you're more likely to commit a crime.

A lil nikka being groomed for a life of crime.

From school fights and store grab and runs, to selling weed and rolling around in stolen cars, to selling dog food and shooting nikkas.


Exactly it reminds me of the case in Atlanta of those teens getting killed at Atlantic Station.
